How To Link Chase Employee Credit Cards to QuickBooks Online and Bypass the Error Message
In this video, I'll guide you through the process of linking multiple Chase employee credit cards to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) Bank Feeds. This tutorial builds on a previous video where I demonstrated how to link multiple employee credit cards to QBO Bank Feeds, but this time, I'll share a valuable shortcut to bypass a recent Chase error message that I've seen continuously popping up for my training clients.
This error message has been a roadblock for many users, but with a simple workaround involving the creation of a dummy parent account, you can smoothly link your Chase employee credit cards without any issues.

Best instructional video ever! Seriously. You did an amazing job at making it do-able AND easy to understand. I have been searching for books and resources to make exactly what you created here for months. My search is over. Now to look at other great stuff you have... THANK YOU!!

Hi Gunnar, Thank you so much for this video, VERY helpful. I own a liquor store in Minnesota & I have multiple tax rates for example, 6.875% General rate, 2.5% liquor, .5% County, etc. can I still use 1 Daily Sales Receipt? If so, can you help?
The SUMIF function would save you a lot of time when transferring all transactions from the bank/credit card tabs to the Profit & Loss tab.
Thanks so much for this video! It has been extremely helpful. We operate a small restaurant and bakery with Square PoS and the integration with QBO has been quite painful. We will be implementing this method in the very near future after we figure out a few more variables as we use Square for Payroll and also have a few savings accounts that take automatic deductions from each sale. Big Thanks!
This video has been very helpful. I am wondering the proper way to enter the tips. The way I have done it doesn't seem to reflect properly. Thank you.
very informative, we are a medical business selling retails products, sometimes under a prescription, sometimes not prescribed, the same item can be taxable if not prescribed, and non taxable if bought with a prescription. moreover on the same bill, someone could have items with taxes and some without, for instance 600$ total but only 1.27$taxes. Do you have any advice so we can have clear reports at the end of the month on how much we owe to our dear government? appreciated
great video! Although my Financd>Payout report screen does NOT look like the one in your video. Mine does not show fees ? ? ? Is there a way to change columns?
awesome video! Just a question on service charge fees. How do I enter those? I you skipped that in the video, so I am wondering what d/c accounts to use? Thanks
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! for this incredibly comprehensive and thoughtfully done tutorial!
Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for the video. It's very informative. But I think gain on the sale of asset needs to record as a credit. Dr. Cash 800, Dr. Accumulated Depreciation 1000; Cr. Gain on sales 600 Cr. Asset 1200
You are correct if it is indeed a gain, but in this example I'm showing sold at a loss, also accumulated deprecation wouldn't be touched on the entry for a fixed asset sale entry
why is showing different with bank deposit ?
Your videos are so well explained and so easy to follow along and understand!
Thank you! Glad I can help
We are looking for a new POS company for our retail store and fishing lodge. Have any of your customers used Lightspeed? In your expert opinion, which POS platforms present the best sales reports for entering to QB? I am enjoying your channel, thanks.
Excellent video. Do you have another tutorial explaining the deposit process after this journal entry?
I do not, but very much need to make one as I've been getting many requests for this. Thanks for watching!
Gunnar, thank you for a comprehensive video. i found my way here after several transactions failed to be included in the Square to Quickbooks integration tool. My current stumbling block is related to the QBO Sales Tax Liability Report. I'd like to be able to carry over data from Square taxes report, what/how can I make this part of the journal entry? Thanks in advance for your help.
Thank you for this feedback. That is exactly why I prefer this method over direct integration attempts. This is possible, but is more advanced and difficult to explain via messaging. If desired, feel free to book a one-on-one session with me and I’d be glad to go over this: calendly.com/essentially-intentional/training-with-gunnar-1-hour But, if you would like to attempt yourself, here is the basic idea. Instead of a journal entry template, you create an Invoice template. Then you set up your products and services accordingly with the correct sales tax settings in QBO, then you enter in the square numbers using positives and negatives on the invoice, but not entering the sales tax portion. If done correctly, QBO will then calculate a sales tax on the invoice but the total balance on the invoice at the end will be $0, but the sales tax portion will carry over to the QBO sales tax liability report.
Thank you. Great comprehensive video. So many blogs, websites, and videos just brush over some stuff and then tell you to buy their product or hire them. As a person trying to start a business, keeping fees low is a must. This was so helpful. Thanks again
Thank you for this feedback! Much appreciated, glad I was able to help
Is there a way to link the Bank Register to the P&L?
There may be, but honestly I don't know. That is out of my Excel skillset to cleanly accomplish that
thanks! this was VERY helpful :)
Thank you so much! This was great.
Hey. Thanks for the video, but what do I do if someone only pays a partial payment? Ie sales for the day of 2,000 payments in of 1,500? Thanks!!!
If you want a strictly “cash-basis” accounting, then you could lower the sales portion to $1,500 to match the payments collected, and then do the opposite when the payment collected, that day the collected will be higher than sales, but then you could just raise your sales portion for that day to match the cash colletced. If you want more “accrual-based” accounting, then you could create an asset account, probably “Accounts Recievable” to record the sales on the day they are incurred. So, in this case it would be: Debit: $1,500: Payment Collected Debit: $500: Accounts Receivable Asset Account Credit: $2,000 Sales Then, say next day payment is made for yesterday’s sale, total $1,000 sales, $1,500 collected, then, Debit: $1,500 Payment Collected Credit: $500: Accounts Receivable Asset Account Credit: $1,000: Sales
@@essentiallyintentional Thank you for the reply!
Greetings, so I wouldn't have to touch the entries in the bank statement, I just wait until the end of the month and make the single entry in the journal? Shopify groups several payments into one, would there be a way to reconcile the bank statement for greater accuracy or is it better not to touch them?
No, in order to complete bank reconciliations, you will need to categorize every debit and credit in and out of the bank account for the same exact dollar amounts and dates. You will still only be entering one Journal Entry to record most of your Shopify activity into your books like sales, but will still need to do something with each Shopify to Bank deposit in the Bank Feed. These will mostly be categorized to lower the Shopify Clearing Asset account. Then, you will have all Shopify info entered but also keep the capability of completing the monthly bank reconcilaitions.
Great video, but I am really struggling on how to incorporate the Bank Feed and the Journal Entries. Also, with the PayPal Bank feed where deposits are made and the fee comes out there (I know you explained the fee portion well - thank you). Again, its how to clear everything out from teh Bank Feed I am struggling with.
I very much need to make a video on this portion of the workflow as I’ve had many requests for this. Sorry for the delay but that will definitely be my next video made.
Thank you Gunnar. How do you record assets that were purchased BEFORE ? Meaning, they are an asset that the business uses, and is making payments on each month, but the original purchase isn't on the books because it happened so long ago?
Is the liability for the loan recorded on the books yet? How have the monthly payments been being recorded?
My sales report has the gross sales less than the total collected. This company takes deposits for their products. When doing the JE I can't save it because the totals aren't the same. How do I make up the difference in the JE? One other thing that is off is the "other" payment. If it's a check I would think it would be deposited but I don't see it in the bank feed(QBO). Where do I start to look for answers? This is my first Rodeo with Square. I'm starting 1/1/2024. Thanks.
It’s hard to say for sure without knowing more. A possible solution for the deposits is adding a Customer Deposits liability account and including that in the JE. Then you would debit and/or credit this same account in order to post customer deposits collected and redeemed, this will balance out the Journal entry: Sales: $50 Credit Card Collected: $75 Deposits: $25 Debit: Square Clearing Account: $75 Credit: Sales: $50 Credit: Customer Deposits Liability Account: $25 In terms of the other payment type, I’d look to see if cash and check deposits are being combined at the bank, if this is the case, then it wouldn’t be a dollar-to-dollar match.
@@essentiallyintentional Thank you for the reply
I'm so grateful for this tutorial and your incredible teaching style. You don't skip over steps and assume people will know. Thank you so much. Finding this has made my year!
Thank you! I make long videos, but try to make sure everything is included and no steps skipped. Glad I could help! Thanks for this feedback
A parent company with a foreign subsidiary company can operate with a single subscription & maintain both company books of accounts?
Depends on the tax situation. My general recomendation is if the companies are separate tax entities, then they should be separated with the bookkeeping, especially if Balance Sheets are needed for tax filings. But, if they are not separate taxable entities and/or have no need to file a Balance Sheet with the tax filing(s), then you may be able to get away with using one set of books along with some other QBO features such as Classes and/or Locations
Recently found your channel and I am really appreciating the detail you put into your videos - thank you! Would you consider creating a video where you show your reconciliation process for the clearning accounts?
Glad I can help and thank you for watching my videos and for this feedback! Yes, that is high on my list as I have been getting many requests for a video covering the clearing account auditing stage
Your template is a lifesaver, and I'm glad you shared it. I'm also grateful for your tips on how to do bank and credit card reconciliations and how to scan and save receipts. I'll be using these tips going forward.
Glad to hear it, thank you for this feedback!
My client is a counselor who wants to be able to categorize income in QBO by income stream, e.g. individual vs couples vs family counseling. All payments are taken by card, so do I still have just the clearing account in QBO? But if I set a rule to enter bank deposits as transfers, I'm missing capturing that information. When is the best stage in the process to break out by type so that I can eventually have the income categorized to separate subaccounts under a parent income account "Client Fees"?
Thinking maybe I just do it by breaking out the "Gross Sales" item from the Square report into my various income accounts, i.e. multiple lines at the top of the JE. Then the clearing account and bank transfers work the same as you showed. That would work, right?
@@MoreSky1289 That is correct, keep one clearing account. The income breakdown will occur during the journal entry stage by rather than entering one gross sales line, break down the income lines there!
This was incredibly helpful and I just want to say thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to make this video. I was lost and now I feel like I actually understand things clearly.
Glad I could help, I appreciate the feedback!
YES!! Thank you. This was super helpful. I was like oh man a client with square! Well I need to learn what to do sooner or later and this nailed it down for me and cut out so much guess work.
Glad I could help, I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks - this was very helpful. Chase CC do make this a challenge when there are a lot of employee cards.
Thanks Gunner! I'm not sure if I'm doing something incorrectly, so I certainly appreciate your insight. I've set this JE up and it balances perfectly for one client. But I have a new client and it's off. The client wasn't automatically transferring her square funds to her bank, so would that be throwing things off? Or would it be invoice payments? She invoices some buyers with 50% down. That transaction isnt in the transaction ledger until the invoice is paid in full. But that money is still somewhere. Would that still be in the Square Clearing? Thanks!!
What part is not balancing? The Stripe Clearing account or the Journal Entries themselves?
Does it actually help save time? This seems like extra work
No, this will not save time vs a direct integration. I prefer the control and flexibility of this method, but if time savings is your number one priority then you can attempt the direct integration route.
Thank you so much for this - it will save us a lot of time - I have found a Summary Report that seems to put quite a bit of the info together that might be useful. We are in the UK and I think our Quickbooks is set up differently in terms of sale tax though so just trying to figure out that bit. I am wondered how the gift cards fit into this...
Gift Cards are a liability and credited when purchased and debited when used (redeemed) for a purchase as a payment method!
@@essentiallyintentional thank you
Hello! I have a question, hopefully you are able to answer. I added the sales as directed in the video, my issue is that, when I open the statement for the month for debit/credit card transactions there is an additional fee that is charged and comes out of the bank account separately. Now I’m noticing that the clearing account is overinflated because it is not accounting for that additional fee. What is the best way to correct that? Thank you!
I don’t think the Clover Clearing account should be overinflated if the fees are taken out via your bank account separately as long as you are not entering the fees during the sale entry. You would just account for the fees during the bank debit.
Gunner the je balances until I put in the fees then it is off by that amount. any help would be appreciated.
Subtract the fees amount from the total in the Square Clearing amount and then you should be good!
Thank you for this video, it has already helped! I do have a question though. My client doesn't keep a balance in Stripe. He runs a motel and has a security deposit that he refunds provided the guest does 'normal' messes to the room. Sometimes he gets hit with several of the refunds at the same time, causing a negative to his Stripe account. Stripe pulls the money from his checking account. I am not sure how to categorize this. It isn't an expense and Sales Returns require a customer to be attached. What do you recommend? Thank you for any help! P.S. I am using Zoho, not QBO for this, but if I can get answers on the backend aspect, I can figure out how to apply it to Zoho.
So my client has square and Shopify integrated to QBO. There are transactions in the App Transaction feed. For recording sales in QBO, if I decide to do it this way… so I disregard the app transactions that need to be recorded? If doing it this way, is an integration needed?
Correct, if you decide to do it this way, you can ignore and forget about the App Transactions and also this method requires no integrations. Also, feel free to watch my other video on how to enter Shopify sales into QBO, then you can use both methods using two journal entry templates to enter both Square and Shopify sales into QBO with no integrations needed. Here’s a link to that video: th-cam.com/video/QoLK7qxo_Wo/w-d-xo.html
Hi Gunnar, Thank you for this video. Super informative and helpful. 'm trying to figure out why my sales receipts are not auto populating in the bank deposit like shown in your video.
And it seems the further I go to try to fix it, the worse everything gets. And now QBO doesn't have ANY support unless you pay an extra fee.
What I’ve heard as feedback is that even people who do get the Intuit support, they usually either are not aware of or not authorized to troubleshoot using this method. If desired, feel free to schedule a consultation session with me and I can help get this set up correctly for you using this link: calendly.com/essentially-intentional/training-with-gunnar-1-hour
I am infuriated by this whole process. I added accounts like you said. Then realized that I created a duplicate account. Now I can't merge the two accounts because they have subaccounts. It is now a mess with two Credit card accounts and I CAN'T delete and start the process over! This is maddening. QBO also does not have the same workflow for adding the account ad you show here anymore. I then added the account thinking I was choosing the right one but it was the account that I created instead. What an utter mess and I can't fix it!
What is the correct way to do this with in-person cash sales through shopify ?
It should be the same, assuming that the sales is entered at the time into Shopify via cash. As long as it shows up on the monthly Shopify reports as cash sale than everything else should be the same workflow as shown!
Pennies off: Gunnar, almost without fail my journal entry is $.02 cents off in one direction or the other. How should I handle this difference so that I can save the journal entry?
A short potential solution would be to do this: Create an “Other Income” Chart of Account account called “Cash Over / Short” and put the pennies off, whether debited or credit into that account. A more involved solution would be to investigate why it is always a few pennies off within Shopify and then adjust the Journal Entries accordingly. This is assuming that the pennies difference isn’t happening based on the Journal Entry entries themselves but there being a legitimate difference in Shopify of Sales and amount collected within certain months.
I'm having this problem now too.
This was so helpful! Question though -- I just discovered Paytraqer (QBO App) that seems to be able to track all of the Square detail automatically. Have you heard of that? I'm leaning towards using that over the monthly journal entries, just wondering if you've heard of it and wondering if you opt to make journal entries instead anyways. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise and for your time!
Hi Gunner!!! The best video out there for Square without a doubt. In this example..what do u do with the tips once it goes to the tips liability. Do u reclass it to payroll expense by customer (employee)? Since it’s not included in Sales originally, would reclassify it as an expense be deducting it twice?
Thank you! I always recommend for tips paid to first consult the tax person to see how they prefer it be handled then go from there. I will say though that generally you either want to first record it as income (in a separate income account ideally), and then count it as an expense. Or, count it only as first a liability increase, and then a liability decrease. But definitely not a first increase as a liability and then counted as an expense, that would not work and would be incorrect.
@@essentiallyintentional soooo been thinking about this too. This is a new company I’m working in so still learning. The tips are being paid out of square by them taking the cash. The tips are then reported on payroll. I’m thinking that this is a pass thru and should hit the cash clearing account and reconcile against the deposits. Ur comment above reflects the pass thru. I should probably pay the consultation fee. Would luv to pick ur brain. Ur video rocks!!!!
